Title: Surprisingly big linker-dependence of activity and selectivity in CO 2 reduction by an iridium( i ) pincer complex

Journal Article · · ChemComm

Here, we report the quantitative electroreduction of CO2to CO by a PNP-pincer iridium(i) complex bearing amino linkers in DMF/water. The activity and selectivity of the reduction greatly depend on the choice of linker within the ligand.
